How are Rajya Sabha members democratic even though they are not directly elected by the people?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They are elected by elected State legislators

Correct answer: A. Democracy can use both direct and indirect elections. Citizens directly elect members of State Legislative Assemblies. Those elected legislators then elect most Rajya Sabha members through the constitutionally prescribed method. Thus, Rajya Sabha members receive democratic legitimacy through a chain of elected representatives, even though ordinary voters do not vote for them directly. This arrangement also connects the Council of States with the states and their elected institutions. B is wrong because India does not select Rajya Sabha members through a king. C is wrong because they are legislators, not court employees. D is wrong because the normal method is an election, although the President may nominate a limited number of members with special knowledge or practical experience in specified fields. Memory cue: Lok Sabha is direct election; Rajya Sabha is mainly indirect election through elected MLAs.
